Through our collective power, LIFE is driving transformative change to steward resources, build power, and advance equity, justice, and sustainability.
LIFE is committed to dismantling systemic inequities by redistributing resources to meet the needs of People of the Global Majority.
We work to shift power by advocating for participatory and community-led decision-making processes, and promoting transparency, equity, and accountability within philanthropic institutions.
We are dedicated to advancing a more equitable and sustainable food system by addressing systemic issues, such as land access, food sovereignty, racial disparities, and environmental sustainability.
Through our regranting efforts, LIFE has made a significant impact in the pursuit of food and agricultural justice. We have awarded a total of $1.1 million in grants to 49 organizations, prioritizing initiatives led by People of the Global Majority and promoting equitable distribution. Our grants have supported nonprofits, fiscally sponsored projects, and for-profit enterprises, fostering a diverse and inclusive food ecosystem. By empowering these groups, we are collectively working towards a more equitable and sustainable future.

LIFE stands for Liberating Investment in the Food and Farm Ecosystem. We are a consortium of leaders and organizers committed to building power and redistributing resources to meet the needs of People of the Global Majority. Our focus is on advancing food and agricultural justice by transforming philanthropic institutions, advocating for equity, and empowering communities to steward their own resources.
Our goal is to create a participatory grant making approach to distribute funds where we engage in a community-led process where stakeholders, including our members and community partners, are involved in decision-making. This ensures that funds are allocated in a way that reflects the priorities and needs of the communities we serve. We prioritize initiatives and organizations led by People of the Global Majority that align with our values of collective power, equity, and democracy.
